Abstract

Robot-assisted surgery in Total Hip Replacement, was evaluated using the Robodoc system. 490 patients were operated with Robodoc since November 1994, and a two arm trial was conducted on twenty greyhounds. Results in both studies showed no system-related complications, a tolerable longer OR-time and benefits regarding position and healing of the implant in the robot group. No fractures or malposition were seen in the robot-operated people and dogs. Study results support further clinical use and applications.
